I was sleeping in Little Girl’s room. The clock read 6:30am. She was up and ready, however, Owner had instructed her to stay in her room until 7:00am. This seemed to be some sort of mental trauma for Little Girl. She was very anxious to go down to the green tree. She passed the time by telling me what was going to happen today.

First they would open presents, then have breakfast, then off to her Aunt's house. She was exceedingly sorry that I would have to stay home, but it’s ok with me. Finally the clock struck 7:00am. They were out of their rooms like racehorses. It’s the fastest I’ve ever seen them move, actually. So much excitement, wrapping paper flying around, squeals of laughter and happiness. Wow this IS a great day. It’s everything Little Girl said it would be. After breakfast, Girl looked under the tree one last time. “Mom, there is another present under here in the back”. She pulled it out and much to my surprise, she held it out for me to inspect. “It’s for you, Jax!” What? A present for me? Like this family doesn’t give me enough love already?

I carefully tore the paper to reveal, not 1 but 3 new Classy Collars. Oh, Joy! Owner is so good to me!! That night was another perfect night with my family. I was all decked out in my new Classy Collar and feeling as loved as a dog could be. Merry Christmas all!!
